Ok, so I’m gonna be there but I’ll have to be a bit late depending on how quickly I can get in town from Quincy at 6:00. So I’ll probably show up at 6:45 or so, maybe 7:00. Save me a seat!
Can you get to Rochester? That would save me like $50 of gas.
No, we lock the doors at 6:31PM, sorry.
(I obviously like LOUNE more) 
There’s a Rochester in Michigan…I can drive there…
I should get a t shirt made:
I’m big in Boston!
…amongst Dopers.
Oh, good, somebody else is in the exact same position I’m in!
Had to miss the last one because of my insane work schedule. Somehow attending a Dopefest then having to be at work at 4AM the very next morning doesn’t jibe very well with my body 
I’d love to get together with you guys at some point!
Wow, this is sad. I may have to change the reservation to, like, half of what it is now.
The rest of y’all – you’re showing up. Dammit.
Christ, I’m a dumbass. I saw the menu and it is to my liking.
I am gonna try my damnedest to be there!
Cool! 
What does one hang by the chimney on Dopefest Eve?
What’s the take on non-Doper SOs? Especially if SO glares at you often when s/he sees the SDMB on your laptop screen?
Because mine actually is interested in coming…
Last year we had two Doper spouses and one Doper child. The references to death rays and Opal tend to go over their heads, but we put up with them anyway. 
There’s one Doper spouse coming this year. (Although she has posted here maybe 3 times, for 20 minutes, in the sixties.)
Cites.
Cecil (in effigy) of course.
I don’t know. Eve might take offense at having Cecil chained to her, even if it is in effigy.
So is mine Hippy.
So I’ll be bringing the fiancee along. He likes to know I’m not going to meet scary kidnappers or something.
For the sake of recognition in person, this was my pic from the most recent Dope Pic Thread.
I know, I know; I don’t look much like an actual big baby, or a Detroit gansta. Sorry if that disappoints. “Hey look at me, I’m just a boring white guy!”
Oh, and by the end of the night, I may resemble my most recentpic in the Drunk Doper Thread.
For the sake of recognition, I have a big black air cast on my left leg. Makes me fairly easy to spot in a crowd, especially when I’m walking…
I just sent my daughter off to Europe with all the money I have in the world (until Saturday), so I’m out for this one. But y’all have fun, and don’t cry, tdn, I promise to make the next one!
lorene, careful on the cobblestone!
Good reminder! Sorry that we won’t get to meet you.
No pressure on the rest of the folks, but my horoscope this morning said, “Do not socialize with people who don’t know you. They will bore you to tears.” I’m 100% serious about that, but also going with the fact that some of you do, in fact, know me, at least a little bit.
Come on, my knot-tying demonstrations are the life of the party!
And what did you do to your leg?
I’m a frayed knot. Ha! Come on, that was funny.
(Now who’s boring, eh?)
Stress fractures. Two of 'em. 'Cause I’m an overachiever like that.
